"The business of books"

The next 8th of October starts the annual book fair of Barcelona. It’s the 26th edition of this event and, there, there are the most important companies of this industry. Catalonia represents more than the 50% of the Spain’s publishing industry. In the fair there will be stands with roundtable talks, workshops, new titles, distributors, etc. The guest of honor of this year is Quebec.
The last day of the fair is the 10th of October, and it’s a good thing to do if there aren’t more plans.

New words learnt:

Boast - presumir
Roundable - taula rodona (discussió)
Descending - baixada
Fair - fira
